What is a sandy zvar?

Sand Viper is a term used to describe three different breeds of desert snakes. The first is vipera ammodyts , more often known as the nose viper. Another is Cerastes Vipera , also known as Avicenna Viper or Sahara Viper. The third is heterodone, also referred to as a snake with a nose. The types of ammostets and vipera are highly poisonous, while heterodone is harmless.

Vipera ammodytes can be found in Europe, the Balkans and the Middle East. It is considered a large and highly poisonous snake that can grow up to 38 inches (about 95 cm). The snake acquires its more common name viper from the nose because of a single corner protruding from the tip of the snout. Although it is often referred to as sand viper, this snake actually prefers rock terrain and not sand. Woman Vipera ammodytes gives the birth of living children.

Cerastes Vipera , otherwise known as Avicenna Viper and Sahara Viper,It is located in the deserts of the Middle East and North Africa. Its average length is 8 to 14 inches (about 20 to 35 cm), but it was known to grow up to 1.6 feet (about 50 cm). Venom Cerastes Vipera is classified as hemotoxic, which means they attack the blood and organs of the victim. This breed is described as has a triangular head, small eyes and is pale color with three rows of dark brown spots. An unusual characteristic of this sand viper is that women put eggs that hatch within a few hours, instead of more common live birth or eggs that hatch in a few weeks.

Heterodone occurs throughout North America and is 14 to 40 inches (about 35 to 101 cm). Heterodon is the only type of sand viper considered harmless because it has no poison. Instead, this sandy viper has slightly toxic saliva, which sometimes gives mild traffic feelings to their victims, but is not harmful or fatal. The distinguishing characteristic of this snake is its inverted chenCH, which gives him a more common name of the snake snake. The preferred habitat of this snake is in sandy soils.

Sand Viper is a well -known snake documented throughout history and even played an important role in ancient Egypt. Mummia of the sand swabs were found balsan in an area that was once known as Thebes. It is also likely that Cleopatra has used Cerastes Vipera to cause her fatal wounds. In addition, the Egyptians documented more than 2,200 years ago that Sand Viper victims could be saved by treatment.
